Yesterday, I blogged about a guy who posts
pics and other files he finds on military personnel’s computers via p2p apps.
Today, he plugged a similar site that posts
pics from everyday schmoes. It’s rather addicting going through the archives.
People watching is fun. 🙂
On a side note, a drinking game could be easily made from this site by drinking
whenever you see a middle finger extended or a freaky punk or raver type.
Here’s a contest I’m sure to not win – Washington Post’s 2004
Best Blogs – Politics and Elections Readers’ Choice Awards. Check it out and
nominate someone. 🙂
There isn’t enough good bathroom graffiti these days. Either people don’t feel expressive
on the can anymore or it’s painted over too quickly to get wide readership. When
a magazine or a newspaper in the stall may as well be War and Peace, it’s
nice to have something pithy to read.
The fella over at The
Crystal Drum Page seems to agree with me.
I was sitting in the men’s room at a Beds Baths & Beyond in downtown Manhattan this past weekend, where I found a heartening message on the wall to my right: “Everybody at 126 East 17th Street stinks.” Below that, slightly larger but clearly written by the same hand with the same red Sharpie, “Mitch Vogel forgets NOTHING.” Written on the toilet paper dispenser, possibly although not definitely by Mr. Vogel, were the words, “KILL KILL KILL KILL.”
Actually, in this case, it’s loose disks. It seems some of our nation’s defenders
need a lesson in discretion and security.
Are
P2P networks leaking military secrets?

A new Web log is posting what it purports are pictures, documents
and letters from U.S. soldiers and military bases in Iraq and elsewhere–all of
which the site’s operator claims to have downloaded from peer-to-peer networks such
as Gnutella.
Scandals abound, heterodoxy is rampant, and secularism looms menacingly, but there
is hope left in the Church. There are scores of people converting every year and
they’re not deterred by the bad press the Church often gets. Let’s pray the “immigration”
never stops.
New Catholics
not detracted by abuse crisis, say their faith is holding strong
“The Church has problems that it needs to address, but that didn’t detract me at all from joining…It was a sin committed on the part of a few priests, so we should blame the sinners but not the Church. The Church is a gift to keep us together. We need to look past this and see this as Jesus’ Church.”
[…]
“The Church isn’t the priest or the nuns, the Church is the people…It’s time to get rid of the evil and take control. It’s the people who make the Church, and there is no Church with out them.”
[…]
“Abandoning the Church is like abandoning Jesus, and He would never abandon us as much as we might sin.”
[…]
“Certainly it’s a serious issue and one that need be addressed, but you can get hung up on one issue…For me, the bigger picture is our faith and the Church itself.”
